             Bug #: 14955
           Summary: __get_cpu_features isn't always usable
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: hjl.tools@gmail.com
                CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


When we tried to use __get_cpu_features in libpthread.so, we
got a crash like this:

[hjl@gnu-hsw-1 ifunc-cpu]$ cat foo.c
enum
  {
    COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_1 = 0,
    COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_80000001,    /* for AMD */
    /* Keep the following line at the end.  */
    COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX
  };

enum
  {
    FEATURE_INDEX_1 = 0,
    /* Keep the following line at the end.  */
    FEATURE_INDEX_MAX
  };

struct cpu_features
{
  enum cpu_features_kind
    {
      arch_kind_unknown = 0,
      arch_kind_intel,
      arch_kind_amd,
      arch_kind_other
    } kind;
  int max_cpuid;
  struct cpuid_registers
  {
    unsigned int eax;
    unsigned int ebx;
    unsigned int ecx;
    unsigned int edx;
  } cpuid[COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX];
  unsigned int family;
  unsigned int model;
  unsigned int feature[FEATURE_INDEX_MAX];
};

extern const struct cpu_features *__get_cpu_features (void);

static int
one (void)
{
  return -30;
}

static int
two (void)
{
  return -40;
}

void * foo_ifunc (void) __asm__ ("foo") __attribute__ ((visibility
("hidden")));
__asm__(".type foo, %gnu_indirect_function");

void * 
foo_ifunc (void)
{
  const struct cpu_features * cpu = __get_cpu_features ();
  return cpu->max_cpuid  > 1 ? two : one;
}

extern int foo (void) __attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden")));
int (*foo_ptr) (void) = foo;
[hjl@gnu-hsw-1 ifunc-cpu]$ cat main.c
#include <stdio.h>

extern int (*foo_ptr) (void);

int main()
{
  foo_ptr ();

  printf ("main: %p\n", foo_ptr);

  return 0;
}
